OSTERVILLE — Two men working on a car sparked gasoline vapors that started a garage fire Wednesday afternoon, according to the fire department.

The fire broke out at 2:48 p.m. in a detached garage at 33 Emily Way, Centerville-Osterville-Marstons Mills Fire Chief John Farrington said. There was "moderate to heavy damage" to the garage, and smoke damage to an apartment above it. The men did not live at the home but were allowed to work there.

An off-duty firefighter was leaving the station across the street from Emily Way and was alerted by a citizen to the fire, Farrington added.
